Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 237 Less Control

Xu Anyu and the others were somewhat flattered and accepted the gift in a daze. Was Yang Nianqing worried about them? Of course she was!

After saying goodbye to Wang Hua and the others, Yang Nianqing and Fan Ruichen took Fan Meini to the place they had arranged to meet Ren Chi.

A glass suddenly shattered at a villa on a hillside in the suburbs.

Gu Tangtang frantically pulled her feet onto the sofa. Next to her slippers were shards of the water glass her aunt had been holding. "Auntie, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly get angry?"

If she hadn't pulled her foot back quickly, the cup would have hit her. What's wrong with her aunt? Is she going through menopause?
"How dare she! How dare she! Why would she do this!" Gu Rongrong trembled with anger.

Despite her inner grumbling, Gu Tangtang didn't dare to speak. What was wrong? Gu Tangtang picked up Gu Rongrong's phone, which had fallen on the sofa, and glanced at the contents. After a while, she exclaimed, "Auntie, do you all love Xu Daiqing so much that you want her to inherit the Xu family? She'll be the female CEO of Yuntian in the future?"

Gu Tangtang seriously doubted whether this person was capable. He'd squandered the entire Yuantian Group in just a few months. What were her aunt and uncle thinking? Why would they let Xu Daiqing manage the family? Did they think the Xu family had too much money?
Hmm, probably not. No matter how much her aunt and uncle dote on Xu Daiqing, they probably wouldn't joke about Yuantian Group. To put it bluntly, with Xu Daiqing's abilities, she's only good at currying favor with her elders. Does she have the ability to manage a company?
It's not like they haven't tried before. Last year, on Xu Daiqing's 18th birthday, her aunt and uncle gave her a subsidiary of Yuntian Group, separating it from the group and changing its name so it would belong entirely to Xu Daiqing. However, in less than six months, the entire company was squandered, and they couldn't even pay their employees' salaries. In the end, her uncle had to clean up the mess. Fearing that Xu Daiqing would lose face in high society, her uncle suppressed the matter, but he never dared to mention giving Xu Daiqing a company again. So how could he let Xu Daiqing inherit the family business?

“If she posts like this, Qingqing will misunderstand, Qingqing will misunderstand, why is she doing this! What is she trying to do! No! I want her to post it again. I’ve already done more than enough by raising her until she’s 19! Does she want Qingqing to disown me?” Gu Rongrong kept shaking her head, looking somewhat neurotic.

Gu Rongrong's behavior startled Gu Tangtang. "Auntie, what's wrong? What misunderstanding did Qingqing have? Does she not recognize you? Doesn't she know what she posted?"

Gu Rongrong looked at Gu Tangtang. Gu Tangtang had been studying, and she was the one who disliked Xu Daiqing the most. They hadn't found Yang Nianqing either. Gu Tangtang had a national math Olympiad competition to compete in, so they hadn't told her that Cheng Ying had replaced Qingqing and Xu Daiqing.

"She's not my daughter! Xu Daiqing isn't my daughter! She's completely ruining any chance of my daughter coming back! My daughter will hate me even more! What should I do? She's not my daughter! She's not!" Gu Rongrong hurriedly grabbed Gu Tangtang's hand, explaining excitedly and incoherently.

"Okay, okay, Auntie, don't worry! Don't cry! Don't cry!" Gu Tangtang panicked too. What happened? She had just gone to participate in a math competition and only just returned, and her aunt seemed to have a mental problem.

"Tangtang, let's go find her, let's go find her!" Gu Rongrong said repeatedly, pulling Gu Tangtang to her feet.

Gu Tangtang tiptoed, carefully avoiding the shards of glass. Who was she going to find? Gu Tangtang was filled with questions.

"You should go with her." Zheng Xiu came downstairs with a stack of documents.

"Grandma?" Gu Tangtang looked at Zheng Xiu and called out in confusion. Zheng Xiu handed the documents to Gu Tangtang, "Go with her, it'll be a good way for you to relax with your aunt. If she stays here any longer and there's no news, she'll go crazy."

Hearing her grandmother say such unclear things, Gu Tangtang was even more confused. What exactly happened? Why did she say that her aunt was going crazy? What did her aunt mean by saying that Xu Daiqing was not her daughter?
Zheng Xiu frowned. She had seen the trending topic push earlier. How could Xu Daiqing, who was usually so sensible, send such a message at this critical moment? Even if they had really doted on her before, the situation was different now. Their Gu family's Miss Sun had been switched by her biological mother. Where did Xu Daiqing, whose position she had taken, stand with? Where did she stand with Gu Rongrong, who had loved her for 19 years?
Is she trying to ruin any chance the Xu family can find Yang Nianqing? Is she really that kind of person? Did they really misjudge her? If so, then Xu Daiqing is truly a master of disguise.

Zheng Xiu looked at Gu Tangtang and solemnly instructed her, "Tangtang, leave the documents in the car to read. After you've read them, you'll understand everything. I'll have someone take you to the Xu family now."

Gu Tangtang nodded, but before she could speak, Gu Rongrong pulled her towards the door, saying, "Wait, wait, Auntie wants me to put on my shoes!"

Meanwhile, Xu Jiahao, who was in the study processing documents, also saw the message. After reading it, he was furious and slammed down his water glass. He went downstairs and saw Xu Daiqing taking a selfie with her afternoon tea.

Xu Jiahao walked over and threw his phone on the table. Xu Daiqing was startled and looked at him in confusion, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Xu Jiahao frowned. "Don't call me Dad. What's with the Weibo post you made today?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Daiqing glanced at him, her left hand unconsciously covering her right wrist. Was it just her imagination? Why did she feel that the bracelet's control seemed to have weakened? Perhaps she should feed it some blood today.

"What if Qingqing sees that Weibo post you made? Don't you want us to find Qingqing? And when did we ever say that you would inherit Yuntian Group?" Xu Jiahao slammed his fist on the table, very angry, showing no trace of his usual doting attitude towards Xu Daiqing.

Xu Daiqing's hands clenched involuntarily on the table, her beautiful yet sharp manicured nails digging deeply into her palms. This Xu Jiahao seemed to have returned to the time when he discovered the truth, but he shouldn't have regained his memory. That person had said that his memory could not possibly return! He wouldn't lie to her!

Xu Daiqing forced herself to calm down! With a well-behaved smile on her face, she said, "I didn't say that. It was the fans who said it. They misunderstood. Besides that, I didn't say anything wrong. Those things were indeed bought for me by you and Mom, weren't they, Dad?"

Xu Jiahao's eyes slowly turned cold. Did Xu Daiqing think he was a fool with no judgment? How could he argue with Rongrong for her sake? What's wrong with him?

At this moment, Xu Daiqing's bracelet began to tremble.
